I Just Got A New Car!

[speedz99 145]

My cousin has lemon'ed these cars thus far: 2000 Escalade, 2002 BMW 745i (his mom's car) and a 2003 Infiniti G35.His check from Nissan for the G35 was $15,000+! So, he drove a nice car for 2 years, made his normal payments and got back $15,000.

Blue book value for a private sale of the 2003 G35 is over $17,000 if it's in good condition.So...yeah...your cousin is a genius!

Speedz, you disappoint me....First off, he only had the G35 for 2 years before he lemoned it. I'm assuming his payment was around $600 and he probably put a couple of grand down. So, his total out of pocket was let say $17,000 (which includes oil changes and maintenance) to drive the car for 2 years. If after 3 years his residual is $17,000 (which it was probably closer to $20,000) and he sold the car for $17,000 then he just lost all of his payments, down payment and expenses.By lemoning it, he drove the car for 2 years and got back almost all of his money. Get it?

Why does it not surprise me that this type of scumf*ck behavior is coming from California?After all, it's the same state where people sue for getting fat and dropping coffee on themselves. Have fun floating off into the Pacific someday. Yours,The East Coast

Oh please, some of you guys talk as if you wouldn't do it if you had the opportunity.If the manufacture is willing to continue to produce these cars knowing that these issues exists, that's ok right? When the manufactures were able to grease enough palms to have a law put in place where there is "no cooling off period", is that right? You know how many shady dealers there are in this state, that have screwed over some many customers time and time again. If the customer buys the car they have to just live with it?All I'm trying to do is play their game. Buy a car that has these known issues and use the laws established in the GREAT STATE OF CALIFORNIA to lemon the car and get my money back.If you bought a Dell PC and it had a 1 year warranty and 1 year later some warranty issues arise you're not going to try to exchange/return the PC against the warranty?

You shut your filthy mouth when you're guzzling our West-Coast juices. Don't start up the Westcoast/Eastcoast beef again, rappers were killed in the last one.

These laws are put in place to protect consumers, not for shady customers to profit from.If you purchase the vehicle because it's an easy lemon in the event it turns out to be a p.o.s. is one thing. Buying it with the intent of lemoning it is just wrong.

This is a list of times from various cars going round the same track using the same professional driver: So take your pick from any of these - Note how high the Mitsubishi Evo's are considering they are just a 4 door family saloon.

If you were to look hard enough I'm sure you could find a sweet Yugo or Ford Pinto instead.I mean, if you're looking to buy a piece of crap why gamble right?
